“Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this,” McDonald’s spokesperson Terri Hickey said in a statement.
The tweet, sent from @McDonaldsCorp on Thursday morning and since removed, read: “@realdonaldtrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands.”
Twitter users were quick to re-tweet the message and offer their own comments.
I’ll never eat at McDonalds again! Oh wait.
Coming from a company that serves disgusting food.
I hope all VIN readers regardless of political viewpoint will join me in boycotting McDonalds.
First of all, McDonald’s says their account was compromised, so where’s their sin…on the other hand…it’s treif, so why are Yidden debating a boycott?
This is because mcdonalds is well aware of who their main patrons are, and how they feel about our president.
